may have marked their burial places are now gone.

The First Small Step...

BIBB CEMETERY in Boles Township

At the meeting held on June 26, 2006, officers were chosen
and Bibb Cemetery was selected as the first project.

Bibb was started prior to the Civil War and ended during
the Civil War (1861-1865) era. Only one stone was still standing.
Some of the stones were underground as were a couple of the
bases.

We currently have record of one African American burial af-
ter the Civil War and are certain there were at least a dozen ear-
lier ones. No markers or field stones survive in the present day
to locate their graves.

In the end, we only found bits and pieces of two separate
stones belonging to a man and wife. The two stones were re-
placed with a new flat stone with their birth and death years on
it. The fragments were reburied.

All of the stones were cleaned according to accepted practices
and beamed with a new appearance.

One stone had been placed in storage for repairs and was re-
turned to the cemetery. A second one had a piece put back in
place with special epoxy. A new base was made at the cemetery
to replace one that could not be found.

On July 12, 2007, Bibb Cemetery was declared completed.
